I’m sad to be giving a one star review, however there is no other option after the pain our adoption caused. We adopted Angie on 4/27. During the meet & greet AND the home visit process, we asked about marks on Angie that appeared to be scars. The volunteers that were involved said they were different colored fur vs. scars or they didn’t answer our questions outright. When Angie came home, we discovered that she had a bite scar on her muzzle, 3 scars on her tail, & a fresh wound on her chest. None of these were a big deal because she was with us now & we would love & care for her. 3 weeks to the day later, Angie opened our storm door & attacked a Dalmatian that was being walked in the street past our house. Thankfully everyone is okay! This act forced us to return Angie to the shelter as she could no longer be considered safe to live with our other dog or our two kids, let alone be safe for other dogs in the neighborhood. Upon returning Angie, the volunteers at Dogs Forever told us that Angie had been in “a couple of altercations” at the shelter & that they didn’t disclose this information during the adoption process because they didn’t feel it was relevant as she wasn’t viewed as the aggressor. If we had known this, we could have saved our 12 yr old son from seeing a dog attack, our 1 yr old dog the trauma from trying to break up a dog attack, a $270 vet visit for an unsuspecting couple & their dog, & the heartbreak of having to say good-bye to a family member. While all of the dogs are very deserving of their forever homes, please be incredibly careful adopting from Dogs Forever. I would hate to hear of anyone else going through the type of situation we did.
